Chapter 793

John saw John and as like as two peas in tears, all in all, there was no tears in his eyes. After all, the two gentlemen were two, but almost the same two times, and a burst of laughter.

"John Rupert, nice to meet you!"

"St. John Lee, again, nice to meet you!"

"Ha ha... Well, it's not a matter to stand here. Let's go to the reception hall and sit and chat."

"Guests are welcome, please...!"

"Please...!"

“…”

Li Feng returned to the living room again with John Rupert and Wang Siqing. He just entertained Zhuang Sibei and bravo. This time, he entertained John Rupert, the Rupert family, the chairman of Richemont group and the controller of the luxury empire.

"Rupert, I didn't expect you to send a visit post before, but I'm flattered!" After they introduced each other, especially after they introduced and exchanged greetings with Wu Jianmin, Mervyn Davis and John Rupert, a big South African man, Li Feng said directly.

"John, you're welcome. Anyway, congratulations on your acquisition of Standard Chartered. I don't know how many people want Standard Chartered, but they didn't succeed. You're the only one who succeeded. What a hero!"

"Hehe... Rupert, I appreciated your compliment at that time!"

"OK, I'm entrusted to come this time. I hope I won't disturb John's pleasure."

"Please...!"

……

Under Li Feng's "please say" gesture, John Rupert immediately smiled and then said, "didn't you announce that you wanted to cooperate with standard bank again? Should you contact standard bank?"

"Mr. Rupert, yes, we quoted standard bank directly before. Unfortunately, so far, there is only one reply, that is, the board of directors is considering it." Wu Jianmin broke in with a smile.

"Dominic, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Rupert, Hello!"

"I think you should also know my identity. In addition to operating the family industry and Richemont group, I am also a non-executive director of standard bank. Of course, I am a nominal. After you put forward the news that you want to merge Standard Bank, there have been some discussions and even debates within the bank.

For the time being, no agreement has been reached on the merger of heavy lifting and slag beating. Although there was a basis for cooperation in the original time, it is important after all. Many people entrusted me to inquire about your general ideas. Maybe the two sides can reach a consensus, isn't it? " Rupert replied with a smile.

Hearing John Rupert's words, Li Feng was actually very happy. From Rupert's words, it is obvious that standard bank is divided into two or even three factions, such as those in favor, neutral and opposed. As for what Rupert said, there is no agreement, Li Feng knows very well that it involves all kinds of interest distribution after all. However, in a sense, it also shows that standard bank does not exclude acquisitions and mergers.

"Rupert, we offer $4 billion. I think you should know our mind very well. It's best to buy directly." Li Feng replied with a smile.

"John, I think you should understand that direct acquisition is impossible. Even the last time Standard Chartered merged with standard chartered, it was formed after Standard Chartered acquired about 40% of its shares." John Rupert replied with a smile.

……

After listening to Rupert's words, Li Feng was convinced that people still hope that, like the original merger, Standard Chartered will first acquire some shares and become a major shareholder, and then merge. Then in the new bank, the original shareholders of standard bank have also become one of the shareholders, which is naturally the best for them.

"Do you mean to make a merger in the form of cash and shares?" Li Feng came over and asked again with a smile.

"I think this is the best choice for all aspects."

"I agree in principle, but I have one condition. I need 51% of the shares."

"Can't give in?"

"I think, Rupert, you can take my words back first. I want to add Huamei bank after the merger. At that time, our whole banking group will be a super bank across the world." Li Feng returned after drawing a big cake for others.

In fact, Li Feng and a group of financial experts such as Wu Jianmin have talked deeply about the issue of standard bank. For standard bank and its behind the scenes shareholders, although standard bank is the first bank in Africa, the African continent is obviously not the mainstream of the world.

In fact, most of the behind the scenes local tyrants in Africa come from Europe and the United States. In their hearts, they hope they can kill back to Europe and America. Unfortunately, the markets and economies of Europe and North America have long been divided. It is conceivable that they want to get involved.

……

It should be said that banks are indispensable in modern society. Whether small-scale urban banks or large global financial giants, they have a great influence on the local and even global economy.

If you can pass the bank, it is easy to get involved in the economic development of various places. If it is a world-class bank, it is naturally more perfect. Obviously, Standard Chartered meets the conditions.

On the one hand, it has a good reputation. On the other hand, it is not a super bank. If it is a super bank, it will be really acquired if it is acquired, and they have nothing to do with it. Third, Standard Chartered's business is mainly in the rapidly rising Asia Pacific and other places. Compared with the traditional European and American places, it is much less difficult to get involved. Based on this, it can be used as a springboard, so it will be much easier to do in the future.

The local tyrants in Africa obviously want to become the shareholders of the bank, even if they can't become the largest shareholder, but their invisible influence is huge when they get shares, board seats and so on.

This is one of the reasons why Standard Chartered Bank and later Huaxia Industrial and Commercial Bank easily acquired and even controlled standard bank.

Obviously, the later rise of China has also become one of the mainstream world at that time, and the combination of standard bank and Huaxia Bank obviously gave those local tyrants who were oppressed in the African continent an entrance to return to the mainstream world.

Now Standard Chartered has reiterated its intention to acquire Standard Bank, which is acceptable to them. Naturally, there must be conditions, which need to be discussed and discussed slowly.

......

"If the merger is successful, in my vision, four groups will be established to control the world. The first is the banking group of Standard Chartered (America) branch of century Standard Bank, which is formed by Huamei group's merger of Standard Chartered's original business in America and is ready to be listed in New York in the future.

The second is the branch banks in the Asia Pacific region and even Huaxia region, which will be listed in Xiangjiang in the future.

The third is that the current standard chartered group is outside the Asia Pacific region of the Americas, focusing on London and mainly developing the Middle East and Europe.

The fourth part is to integrate Standard Chartered's African business with the current standard bank to form the African region. It is listed in today's Johannesburg. The headquarters leads the four branch banking groups in the name of the holding financial group. In this way, it can strengthen the strong anti risk ability. After all, the East is not bright and the west is bright. "

Li Feng explained his vision of the banking group to Rupert, which immediately caused a shock in Rupert's heart. Obviously, Li Feng's super vision surprised him and admired Li Feng's ambition.

On the premise of the overall peace of the world today, if Li Feng can really complete the layout in his heart, Standard Chartered may be one of the top 10 Super banks in the world in the future.

At that time, controlling such a super bank or becoming a shareholder or director of such a bank will definitely be a super winner of the whole world.

In fact, this can be a real win-win for both Li Feng and the African rich represented by standard bank.

......

Li Feng can complete the overall layout of financial banks, and it is perfect that those rich people in Africa have the entrance to return to the mainstream society.
